The Trapiche team was immensely proud to receive the Trophy for the "Argentinian Wine Producer of the Year 2006", awarded by a jury of wine experts on October 31st in London. When the IWSC, one of the most prestigious wine competitions in the world, created the trophy for "Argentinian wine producer of the year" in 2004, Trapiche was the first winery ever to receive it. The trophy was created because of the growing importance of the Argentina category within the industry; P&O Nedlloyd Logistics is the official sponsor. History repeats itself. Being awarded the trophy again is the proof that Trapiche is paving the way in Argentina´s wine industry, both in terms of quality and innovation. The winner is designated on the basis of its general performance at the IWSC 2006 and Trapiche won the only Gold Medal for an Argentinian wine with Medalla 2003. According to the competition officials, "Each year, the International Wine and Spirit Competition commends the achievements of those members of the wine and spirit trade who make an outstanding contribution to the industry. These individuals or companies set the standards of excellence for the rest of the industry to follow and influence the quality, variety, value, and educational information available to the wine and spirit consumer." Undoubtedly this trophy consolidates Trapiche´s leadership in the Argentinian wine industry. Read less

The 2006s were bottled in early April, 2008, just a week before I tasted them. The 2006 Malbec Vina Venturin is purple/black-colored with an expressive nose of toasty oak, lavender, mineral, blueberry, and black cherry. More forward than the other 2006 Malbecs, it also exhibits greater complexity, sweeter fruit, awesome depth, and a 60-second finish. Drink it from 2012 to 2026.

More forward than the other 2006 Malbecs, it also exhibits greater complexity, sweeter fruit, awesome depth, and a 60-second finish."92 Points - Wine Spectator "This is rather flashy, with lots of mocha and fruitcake aromatics up front, backed by lush raspberry ganache, fig sauce and plum jam flavors. The long, rich, velvety finish has plenty of latent grip, with the fruit sailing on."Winemaker's Notes: This Malbec is dark crimson red with deep violet and black components. This meaty wine shows aromas of ripe, concentrated dark fruits like plums. It begins ample in the mouth, with rich and smooth tannins. The long finish has mineral notes that combine with toasty notes to lend great complexity. Food Match: venison, roasts, red meat, grilled meats, game, beef, BBQ.

A red-colored Malbec with deep violet hues, almost black. A meaty wine with aromas of concentrated dark ripe fruit such as plums. It starts out and ample in the mouth with rich and appealing tannins. The finish is long and lingering with mineral notes that together with the toasty flavours give great complexity.
